On Stage

Dear Dumbs, I can’t tell you how much I look forward to your podcast every Monday. It’s my favorite along with my Gang of Two tee shirt.  I have a pretty serious situation I’d like to get your thoughts on.  I’ve been married for 11 years, and I believe my husband’s drinking is really becoming a problem. Before we got married he had a DUI. Because of that I’ve always paid close attention to the amount he drinks. I don’t pester him about it. I just make a mental note. Over the past year or so he seems to be …

Emery Williams – First Place, Junior Division Williams stole the show with her electric performance during this year’s Star Search competition. At only 11 years old, she seems like a pro but in fact, this was only her second time participating in a talent competition. Her strong voice, pure tone and infectious energy are certainly what helped her to take home the top prize. When did you begin singing?  Age two, literally in my crib. Who are you influenced by musically? Definitely Katy Perry and Whitney Houston. They are two of my favorites. What is your favorite part of performing? …

And there, who do I see but this monolith of a human being on the Go-Go Box. Blonde hair, high heels and a tight dress that clung to this 6’4” person. I asked a friend, “who is that?” and he said, “That is …

HAIM/Faye Webster at Daily’s Place Newly-famed sister trio, HAIM, and Atlanta-based indie darling, Faye Webster, made a grand appearance at Daily’s Place last month, bringing fans from all sorts. Webster opened the show, singing sweet nothings to a lightly-packed crowd lost in a raucous chatter. Webster is endearing and relatable, she has an awkward but confident air about her, she knows she’s funny…haha. Dressed in a cobalt-blue, oversized shirt dress she swayed her mullet and sang as perfectly as she does on her album. Webster was kind to her distracted audience and quickly left the stage after the set, expecting …
